	<title>Suffolk Online</title>
	<description>
	Suffolk Online, since 2000 has been an Ipswich based nationwide delivering Internet Service Provider (ISP), offering a range of services like those offered by other major suppliers in the market place.

At the heart of Suffolk Online is it's not for profit basis. All profits from Suffolk Online are ploughed back into the service itself or community projects run by Suffolk ACRE, the organisation that manages Suffolk Online. Suffolk Online can also add to this by being supplied it's services by The Phone Coop. The Phone Coop are part of the co-operative movement and offer all it's services carbon neutral. These ethical and environmental values are a core part of Suffolk Online's reason for existence.

Suffolk Online's Unique Selling Point (USP) however is that along with competitively priced packages it can offer unrivalled customer service and support via its dedicated helpdesk which is manned by 3 knowledgeable professionals each with vast experience of supporting consumers.
This service and support is at the cost of a local telephone call and is a personal service that has no boundaries. Unlike most ISP's we don't just stop at supporting your internet service we also will aid you with any problems you have on your computer, potentially saving you vast amounts of money having to call in engineers.

Suffolk Online is also able to back up its excellent support with a long term sustainable business model, that we hope can be demonstrated by it's 9 year history in a very competitive market place where small ISP's struggle to survive. Suffolk Online's model is based on ultimately being able to fund itself in the short, medium and long term. It does not profess to be the cheapest provider in the market place but we would hope that it's long term stability, excellent support and ethical values will more than make up for any small price differences.
With a self sustainable model in place and supplied by the co-operative movement Suffolk Online can demonstrate it's ethical and environment status which makes it Suffolk's premier Internet Service Provider.

	<title>Whitehall hopes to shave 'conservative' £100m off PC bill</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		The government expects to cut at least &pound100m off its annual personal computing bill under an HMRC led standardisation program.
	
		The savings are expected in procurement, services and management, as departments eliminate waste, duplication and overspend, HM Revenue and Customs&39 Nigel Green told the Government ICT Conference in London on Tuesday.
	
		
			
				
				
					
						&nbspGreen is the Whitehall civil servant leading government&39s End User Device Programme.
				
			
		
	
	
		The G-man called his &pound100m estimate &quotconservative&quot and said more could be reclaimed if the programme was rolled out beyond Whitehall to include the NHS and local government.

	<title>Schools kit scam could cost schools millions</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	Schools across the UK are being charged up to 10 times too much for laptops and other IT equipment through mis-sold lease agreements, a BBC Radio 5 live investigation has found.

	In some cases, head teachers are being chased for payment by finance companies for equipment they were told was free.

	An industry insider says the overcharging could run to hundreds of millions of pounds.

	The Department for Education says there is lots of advice available for heads.

	But the Leasing Advisory Service, a claims management company which represents victims of mis-sold leases says it has identified a particular problem with schools leasing computer ... ]]></description>

	<title>New technologies unleashed at International Consumer Electronics Show</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	The first technologies have been unveiled at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show CES.

	Waterproof smartphone coatings, diet-aiding armbands and a social network that warns drivers of the latest police speed-traps were all on show.

	Microsoft&39s chief executive Steve Ballmer will present his company&39s last keynote at the three-day event.

	The firm&39s pullout has led several attendees to speculate if the trade show will be a smaller event in future.

	But if that is CES&39s fate you would not know it from the throng of press, analysts, executives and PRs packed into a huge hotel conference room for the first teaser event - CES ... ]]></description>

	<title>Microsoft sees a future through cleaner Windows</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	Windows 8, the PC giant&39s new operating system, is stylish, award-winning, multi-platform &ndash and critical to its future

	Among the many criticisms lobbed at Microsoft by Apple&39s late founder Steve Jobs, one of the best remembered was about design &quotThey have absolutely no taste. And I don&39t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don&39t think of original ideas, and they don&39t bring much culture into their products.&quot

	<title>Internet Explorer: Microsoft plans silent updates</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	From January, Internet Explorer IE users will be automatically updated to the latest version of the browser.

	Microsoft said it was starting the project to update millions of machines to improve security online.

	Future updates to the browser would be applied without a user&39s knowledge to help beat scammers catching people out with fake updates.

	Those who did not want their browser updated could opt out or uninstall the software, said Microsoft.

	&quotThe Web overall is better - and safer - when more people run the most up-to-date browser,&quot wrote Ryan Gavin, Microsoft&39s IE boss, in a blogpost explaining the plan.

	<title>DIY fibre broadband</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	In rural Britain there is a growing impatience about the wait for superfast broadband. The Countryside Alliance voiced that last week with its revelations that work had yet to start on the government&39s fast broadband pilots.

	But some people aren&39t sitting back and waiting - they&39re doing it themselves. Today comes news of an initiative from one of the more remote parts of the countryside, where people are clubbing together to give themselves the kind of broadband connections that would look respectable in South Korea, never mind South London.

	The B4RN project aims to bring 1Gbs broadband to homes in the Trough ... ]]></description>

	<title>Ofsted sends ICT to the naughty step</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	We&39ve heard it from games companies and Google, from pupils and teachers - and now we are hearing it from Ofsted. ICT teaching in schools just isn&39t up to scratch.

	This morning Ofsted has published a report into ICT in schools in England over the last three years. It&39s couched in fairly bland language but the conclusion is clear - young people are being failed by the standard of teaching and the content of the curriculum when it comes to learning about technology which will be essential to their personal and professional lives.

	After examining inspections of ICT teaching in 167 primary, ... ]]></description>

	<title>BT announces next 178 exchanges for its fibre based services </title>

	With the announcement today of another 178 exchange areas, Openreach has now announced some 80 of its foot print commercial fibre roll-out, which is primarily fibre to the cabinet, offering up to 40 Mbps now, with upgrades to an up to 80 Mbps in 2012. The final goal of the Openreach &pound2.5 billion investment is to offer its fibre products to two thirds of households in the UK.

	<title>Rural broadband stalled, says Countryside Alliance</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	The Countryside Alliance says plans to bring fast broadband to rural areas have stalled.

	The government named four pilot areas last year, but local councils have admitted that they have not yet started work on their broadband projects.

	Feedom of information requests were sent to councils in each area.

	The responses revealed that none had received any money from the Treasury, chosen a company to build their networks, or started work on them.

	In October last year George Osborne named Cumbria, Herefordshire, North Yorkshire and the Highlands and Islands, as pilot areas for rural superfast broadband networks.

	The Countryside Alliance says that unless the whole ... ]]></description>

	<title>UK shopping habits transformed by technology, KPMG says</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	UK shoppers are embracing technology, and at a faster pace than many other countries, a survey of global shopping habits by KPMG has suggested.

	Seventy-seven per cent of British shoppers prefer to buy goods like CDs, DVDs, books and video games online - compared with 65 globally.

	But when it comes to mobile banking, consumers in the UK are more reluctant than those in other parts of the world.

	KPMG surveyed 9,600 consumers aged between 16 and 65, across 31 countries.

	When buying goods or services, the majority of customers both in the UK and globally now said that they look at social networks ... ]]></description>

	<title>Microsoft prepares major update for Xbox 360 console </title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	The BBC iPlayer will be added to the Xbox in 2012 as Microsoft tries to centre its console on entertainment rather than just games.

	The big update to support this change will start hitting Xbox 360 consoles around the world on 6 December.

	Microsoft has signed up 40 media firms to provide both live and on-demand movie and TV services for the console.

	The update also lets people control their TVs by talking into the Kinect motion-spotting gadgets.

	The most noticeable change made by the update will be to swap the Xbox&39s familiar tabbed interface for the so-called Metro look that is based around ... ]]></description>

	<title>Business groups worried over 4G mobile broadband </title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	Plans to replace the current 3G mobile network with new 4G technology have been criticised by business groups.

	The Federation of Small Businesses and the National Farmers Union NFU say the rollout is taking too long and won&39t cover enough of the UK.

	They are worried hundreds of thousands of people, mainly in rural areas, could be left behind.

	Ofcom says the project is moving as quickly as possible and that no final decision has been made about coverage.

	Two 4G trials are being carried out in the UK.

	One is taking place in central London, run by O2, and another in north Cornwall, jointly ... ]]></description>

	<title>Ten cities will receive superfast broadband boost </title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	&pound100m sounds like a lot of money, but when you consider that Australia is investing some A27.5 billion in its National Broadband Network, one can perhaps better judge the Governments commitment to Broadband as a national infrastructure project.

	The Chancellor did not talk about the &pound100m that would be shared around ten UK cities in his speech, but it was covered in the National Infrastructure Plan 2011. This Urban Broadband Fund is in addition to the &pound530m BDUK funding that is meant to ensure a 2 Mbps Universal Service Commitment, and where possible in all local authorities ensure a superfast broadband ... ]]></description>
